Say hello to Irena, an rl friend of mine who has inspired the Ultra Woman character. When she is in cosplay mode and in Wonder Woman level 4, hearts explode and eyes melt.

I want to thank everyone for all the faves, watches and even the just popping in and checking things out.

Here is the update.

I have a lot of irons in the fire. A whole lotta of irons.

The attached Irena picture was done for a secondlife project, which I am extremely way behind on. My apologies to Vixen Wrestling for that.
I am also an illustrator, so I have three book covers that need to be gotten out, and two graphic novels I am working on.

As for Dragons Breath, it ain't going nowhere. I am in the process of, I find myself saying that a lot lately, of getting a patrone site up and running.

Here in Deviant Art, well, things have slowed down a bit. THE CURRENT DAYANA STORY IS NOT DONE, NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING DONE! I just need to finish writing it and putting it here. In fact, I just got the name of the story the other day, ""Serpents of Shadows: Dayana and the Wrath of Sh'takowa"." I am in the process of building sets which is time consuming. At times, Daz has a mind of its own. And let's not talk about photoshop. At times, I find myself screaming at the computer, "NO, that is not what I want, and you know that is not what I want!"

It is not just Dayana's sets that I am building, I am building the sets for the next and final chapter for the current Ultra Woman story. The Calypso story is still going, I just need to figure where I want it to go without it looking like a version of the "Little Mermaid." The big time consuming thing is Artemis. Artemis was designed as Dragons' Breath's bread and butter. She is our Batman, the entire DBU (Dragons' Breath Universe) falls on her shoulders. Artemis is by and large the most complicated character we have. Artemis is best described as ... if Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince hooked up, then Courtney is their child. Courtney is Bruce and Diana both personality wise and in sheer kickassedness. Courtney is Denzel Washington's Robert McCall in the "Equalizer," she is Gerard Butler's Clyde Shelton in, "Law Abiding Citizen," she is Liam Neeson's Brian Mills in, "Taken," in fact, in her origin story, which we are working on, there is a phone conversation between her and her nemesis Duc Chao, head of the local Chinese Triad with ties to Bejing, that call bears a bit of resemblance to the infamous phone call in "Taken."

Artemis is turning out to be a huge task. I am constantly wavering back and forth, hand drawn in the traditional comic method or here in 3d modeling. The problem with 3d modeling lies in the simple fact what is in my mind is not always possible. A character's look is not always found. A prop is not always available. Damaged motor vehicles and buildings are hard to find and those that are found do not fit the scene or have the look, so that will take time in photoshop.

By far the four most difficult sets to pose, shoot and render were in the second chapter of the Ultra Woman story, the banquet scene aka "The Fatted Calf," the "Blood Feud" scene in the arena, the Mittengard Bath House scene, and the final scene, the throne room scene, "In the Hall of the Eternal Queen." All three of these scenes were huge, and very involved. They involved me setting the scene, establishing the lighting and then slowly moving around the scene and photographing it in pieces. Each shot from the banquet scene required a 2 hour render. Figuring out the lightning and the banquet room was a royal pain. I used every trick I knew to properly light it and three times I had to engineer and do something truly unique. And after all of that, I had to take it to photoshop. But with all of that, the Bathhouse scene was impossible. I was cursing the person who designed that prop. I tried everything and nothing worked. I hate that entire scene and set. It did not turn out how I had envisioned. But was an integral part of the story.

With the upcoming pieces, the most difficult to work with will be this final chapter of Ultra Woman. I am having to go into Blender and learn it so I can properly build what I need to show the millions of dollars of damage that Erena, Jaguara and members of the Pantheon are going to rain down upon Veritas city. So, please bear with me. Also in the pipeline is a Lancer story who is a possible love interest of Erena? We don't know yet. There will be an Adjudicator story and Miss Fury will be debuting.

Now, I need a nap just talking about all of that.

OH SHIT, wait until you get a load of Botocelli! A hero with a very unique power which is also one massive weakness, a case of your power is your weakness and one that will make members of the Pantheon confront a moral dilemma.
